Morning gang :wave:
Wow, 1st October already! It's a big month for us (OH is having an op) so just generally trying to keep busy etc for the most part.
HK - ahhh, poor little kitty. Sounds like you are giving him lots of TLC. Bless. :grouphug:
I'm just spending time on pinterest this morning thinking about the kitchen... We got awesome tiles in wickes half price. :cool:
Not much in small things:
- Playing on Job Spotter :cool: - I'm addicted FVD :rotfl:
- Leftovers (last night's take away
) for lunch 
Can't really think of any more!
The house is a complete tip with more kitchen shenanigans so my mind is also a bit muddled!

Morning everyone .. so I've had a lie in (something I never do) but house is done washing on and I'm just waiting for DS2 to finish getting ready and then it's off out looking into getting his Christmas pressie (gran is going halfs ��)
While waiting I'm going to check banking and eBay then hopefully make a PAD today.
Once back home plan is to do some batch cooking as lately we have been watering so much not being prepared. OH had wanted to go to the cinema but I've talked him into a home movie and home made munchies ��

La E, I think you have discovered more to do on there than me, I've not opened it since cashing out my last lot!
I'm a bit headaches this morning as I pulled my dodgy neck tendon last night and knew I would pay for it today.
I'm taking my mum to a carvery for lunch today, I will take a lunch box to bring back any leftover for the fox.
There are a couple of piles of washing to be done and I really need to put some clothes away and Hoover upstairs.
Day three done at the new job and I now have four days with my business head on. The correct envelopes have now arrived so tonight will be spent crafting and then tomorrow I need to get my head around loading/sending stuff to FBA.
Happy Sunday everyone!Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)

Ouch to the pulled neck tendon:( FVD hope it settles soon
LaE kitty just refusing to come out of the room:(, but when I go in I update her on everything going on with the house. DD home a week Friday:) so will be interesting how kittys behaviour changes. Hope everything goes ok with DH. I've bought some cracking bargains from Wickes when I had the decorator in:).
The little caped crusader kitten is currently hunting everything down. Currently used t-bags:eek: and attacking my duster and then dragging it into the kitchen continually falling over it are the current favourites:rotfl::rotfl:
I'm going to have to give in today and put the heating on, there is a real chill here because of the wind. Also need to get clothes dry, really struggling.
Not sure what the plan is for today.
Only decisions so far are when making my dinner, to fill the oven so i have left overs for tomorrow.
Also want to update and do a month end with my September grocery spends. Going to set a new lower target for October now DD is at uni. She is in catered bec of her health issues and it has been well worth the money.....i just wish she would stop sending me photos of some of her meals:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
She was telling me yesterday that after accommodation monies have gone out some students are into their overdrafts already:eek:
I'm pleased to say DD has her mse head screwed on-she currently has her boyfriend in training in the the ways of a moneysaver:D. The best thing we did was send her with a massive snack box for training and lunches, much better than her nipping to the shops for one snack bar costing her petrol when I can get a whole pack of bars for the price of one bar. Have been stocking up on special offers ready for when she comes home and then goes back.
Have a great day everyone xDecluttering challenge 2023🏅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Morning all
Well I have made a male-chicken-up... I'm supposed to be in work right now. My keys are in work. I am not
Soooo I will have to take today as holiday which is frustrating because a: I didn't want to use a day on a nothing day. b: I was actually quite absorbed in what I was working on and wanted to concentrate on it! Also probably should keep an eye on OH. He has a nasty chesty cough and a temperature. He's currently laid up in bed fast asleep.
Have been let down by 2 fb buyers again. What is wrong with people?! I mean, if something comes up or you cba, that's fine, but let me know!!
Also both of us have been overcharged by the gym AGAIN. They now owe us £170 between us :eek:

Afternoon all!
I've been busy still selling things on local selling pages and listing more stuff on eBay. My back has been in spasm all weekend which isn't ideal when I had loads planned to do but I have managed to ride my ponies this morning to cheer myself up. Just having some lunch before I go and rake up some leaves outside (saves on a gym membership eh?) Also need to make a chilli in the slow cooker for dinner (mince is OOD but beef only matures ;-) )
Enjoy your Sunday0
